2020 Map of Wheatland

About this map

Wheatland serves as the primary landmark of this agricultural and high-plains landscape, situated just north of the Quay Co Curry Co boundary line. The settlement is anchored by the Wheatland Cem, reflecting the area's established local history and lineage. The northern portion of the map is defined by a dramatic transition from the plateau down through several named landforms, including San Jon Hill and a series of deep cuts such as Tipton Canyon and Horseshoe Cave Canyon. These features illustrate the drainage patterns of the region, where the Arroyo Saladito and other seasonal watercourses have carved into the escarpment. The section roads, labeled with both county systems such as Quay Rd and Curry Rd N, reveal a meticulously planned grid that supports the ranching and farming operations across this corner of New Mexico.
